Easy Renewals

Some folks have been asking how they can do renewals, more similarly to how we used to do them in our previous automation system. Karin just figured out a way!(And if you already do this, then awesome. Karin literally just had an "a ha" moment.) In LS2 Staff-->Staff Services-->Titles and Items, you can scan the barcode into the search, and the title pops up. On the right, there's a spot to "click to renew".

When that setting is turned on for a location, it will automatically renew items a couple of times before marking it as overdue. (Note that any changes made in settings are not retroactive.)...

Welcome Back!

Welcome to a new school year! In an effort to reduce the number of emails we send and to curate information in one place for you to refer back to, we will be using a blog for information such as what you see below. You can find the blog on our LibGuide under Automation - TLC. Please subscribe to the blog (we can't do it for you) so that you receive important updates as they happen._________________________________________________ Let Karin know if you are having difficulty accessing TLC modules via SSO (screenshots help a lot).
